NEW CLASS - Starts Tuesday 9th MAY - Please phone to book your place or see Claire in the office on Tuesday from 9:00am

We are delighted to be able to offer Pilates Mat Classes. Led by fully trained physiotherapists Lucy Walmsley and Rebecca Gray, these classes offer a unique clinical approach. By combining traditional Pilates exercises with our extensive understanding of the bio-mechanics of the body and the requirements of the muscular system we can tailor and modify exercises for rehabilitation and injury prevention.

Mat work Pilates is based on the same principles as equipment Pilates - improving local muscle strength and control particularly around the spine and pelvis - but uses floor-based exercises and your own bodyweight as resistance. The advantage of this is that you can practise the exercises at home for even better results.

Whether you are recovering from a specific injury, would like to manage ongoing spinal problems more effectively or would like to improve your general strength and flexibility, then these classes will suit you. We keep the class sizes small to ensure we can teach and monitor each individual within the class and progress you at your own rate.

Classes are held at the The Cotswolds Health and Fitness Club, next door to our clinic and can be booked in a block of six classes for £51. Booking is essential as places are limited and are going fast.

A recent Olympic distance triathlon win and course record at South Cerney after a 10 year gap from triathlon competitions showed that Lucy Walmsley, now aged 44 and a member of the newly formed 'North Cotswold Tri & Run' club, was in good form leading up to the New Forest Half Ironman. She had been inspired to do this race by two friends, Lisa Cartlidge and Hanna Minett who both battled on admirably to complete it. Despite having A family with two young children to look after and run her own business, Stow Physio Ltd., she still manages to fit in the hard training necessarily for doing this type of event. As this was her first attempt at this distance, one could only speculate at what she might achieve although the dedication of training and the determination throughout the race made it no surprise to those who know her that she won the race. However, it was the manner in which she won that was dramatic and astonishing.
